So it seems like there will be shown a difference between the souls of shinigami and the souls of zanpakutous. Nimaiya turned out interesting, if not a little over the top, and I can't wait to see Ichigo and Renji handle the rage of the zanpakutou. Good chapter.

A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.

zanpakutou have souls? I thought they were extensions of their shinigami?

I'm a little peeved that Ichigo just got Zangetsu back in the Fullbringer arc and now it's broken again and will have to be recreated. It wouldn't bother me as much if Ichigo's next Zanpakuto actually had new abilities, but I know that the chances of it having new attacks are slim to none. Kubo just loves Getsuga Tenshou too much.

It's possible he'll do both. Isshin is able to perform Getsuga Tenshou with his Engetsu too, so there's a chance Ichigo's new Zanpakuto will have new abilities while still retaining the Getsuga.

I should have guessed that the Fullbringers were actually villains. This was foreshadowed but I didn't suspect Ginjou.

I thought Ginjou might have been good after that fake-out he pulled when he fought against Ichigo during the Fullbring training, but he was just a good actor. I can't help but feel that he had wasted potential though. Even though he was the leader of the Fullbringers, Tsukishima seemed a lot more powerful because of his Fullbring's ability. He was like a mini-Aizen. Oh well, at least it seems he'll get a second chance to prove himself in this arc.

We shouldn't get any chapter until around the 16, Shoen Jump is on holidays and the chapter we got most recently is suppose to be for this week but we got it early. So there's about two weeks to wait for the next chapter.

But last year, didn't we get the issue a week earlier then expected and have to wait longer then normal for the normal schedule to resume.

I don't remember what happened last year but from what I read this happens every year. We are going to wait longer, the recent chapter we got was the one we got early.

This explains what's happening better, it was posted for Naruto but it implies to Bleach as well:

We do not know exactly when the next chapter will be here.

Chapter 614 is on a double issue 4/5, so naturally you'd assume a week break.
But since it's over a holiday, the next issue, 6/7 will most likely ship early as it's slated for a Friday 1/4 shelf date.
So the next chapter could be as early as next week.
But keep in mind, the earlier the next chapter comes, the longer the break after issue 6/7 is. So getting 615 early is not necessary a good thing.

Chapter 615 (issue 6/7) could come anywhere between 12/25~1/2, my bet is probably around 12/27~29, a week before the shelf date.
Chapter 616 (issue 8 assuming there's no break announced in the previous issue) should be the normal time, 1/15-16)

I believe that she has been in Gotei 13 since the very beginning and was there the last time the quincies attacked. I think she knows what their weaknesses are and can stop them. And that's what she is going to teach Zaraki!

It would be awesome to if she taught Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and the rest of Gotei 13 too!

I think you might not be too far off. I seem to remember a panel depicting Yamamoto as he was one thousand years ago (when he failed to kill Juhabach) that had a silhouetted version of the original death squad and one of the members appeared to be Unohana, while another looked like the large, bald-headed Royal Guard who I don't believe has been named yet.

There is no doubt in my mind that you're right as far as Unohana being there for the first battle with Juhabach and the Quincy, though I'm not sure if there's a secret to defeating them. The implication I got from that scene with Shunsui and Unohana was that she was going to give Kenpachi the training to formalize his skills that he simply never needed before.

If that's the case, it's odd that Yamamoto didn't want her to enter the battle. She's primarily a healer, but I believe that the 4th division wasn't getting any bodies until after the Vandenriech left.
